gauges drawing power

I removed that unit and found a switched wire in the back that was a big gage.I ran several small wires from the connector out several inches and put fuseholders on each .I replace the unit and used the wires to power several things as needed .There may be one or two ready to receive another part to power .This was 8-9 years ago and no problems .I also power the gage lights with the ash tray light wire .

I wore through the aftermarket guage wiring. Now I have no turn signals, dome light, radio, power locks..... I think I accidently pushed the harness behind the clutch pedal without realizing it. Make sure you do a good routings job.
